All I want to do is export my appointments between a particular date range to a text file. I just need the name (subject) of the appointments, no dates or other details.
I need to count the number of appointments I've had with each client between two dates. I figure once I've exported the appointments as a list into a text file, I can just write a simple program in Python to count up the names and give me a summary.
Here's the problem: most of the appointments are set up to be recurring on my calendar - weekdays only. Yet when Outlook exports them into the text file, it treats those recurring appointments as 7 days a week. So I'm getting 7 appointments in the export when it should be 5. If I delete a single occurrence of a recurring appointment, it doesn't show up in the export (at least it gets that right).
This is the case whether I export them to a text file or an Excel spreadsheet.
I find this to be completely ridiculous and inadequate. For my purposes, it renders the export function completely useless. What's the point of exporting a calendar if it exports non existent appointments? Can anyone shed any light on this?
